If So: …的话

You and a friend are planning Saturday, but the weather may change. Write a short dialogue (50–120 characters) in which you make plans for different cases with 如果…就… and …的话.

  • State conditions with 如果…就… (or 要是)
  • Use …的话 to mark a condition, with or without 如果
  • Put 就 before the verb of the result, after the subject
  • Make suggestions with 咱们…吧

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
